FLAGSTAFF -- For every reason you find to believe in Cardinals outside linebacker Joey Porter, there exists a corresponding doubt.
Pro: Porter was named to the NFL’s All-Decade team.
Con: That means he’s old (33) in football years.
Pro: Porter had an eye-popping 17.5 sacks in 2008.
Con: The Steelers released him in 2007, and Miami released him in 2010.
Pro: Standout linebackers Ray Lewis, Derrick Brooks and Junior Seau were still dominant in their 12th NFL seasons. This will be Porter’s 12th season.
Con: Lewis, Brooks and Seau all recorded more than 80 tackles in their 11th season. Porter posted less than 50 the past two seasons.
Pro: The Cardinals believe Porter will provide valuable leadership in the locker room and on the field.
Con: Porter left Miami on less than amicable terms and had a well-publicizied run-in with law enforcement officers shortly after signing with the Cardinals, although no charges were filed.
Pro: The Cardinals believe they acquired a Pro Bowl caliber player.
Con: They believed the same thing about Edgerrin James.
